Michel Desjoyeaux is approaching the finish less than 20 miles away now and making over 10 knots and so should break the line around 1600-1630 hrs local time (1500hrs to 1530 GMT).

He had a tricky final evening at sea – light wind ridge of high pressure last night in the late evening, quicker this morning and now facing a backing SE’ly wind which is getting stronger as the day goes on, maybe up to 25 knots NE’ly at the finish, cold and quite unpleasant, and having to tack this afternoon.
